Directions: This zebra craft can be used to create a zebra puppet.
Activities: Grown-ups can help the child assemble the puppet. Use yarn, string, pom-poms or other “furry” embellishments for animal’s fur. You can add “google” eyes for the eyes. Use puffy paint, finger-paints, colored sand, or other art supplies to add texture.
You can use this puppet to tell stories or you can use it in song, such as “Old McDonald had a Farm.” The zebra can be used as a teaching tool – tell your child about the sounds he makes, where he lives and what food he likes to eat.
These puppet pieces are designed to be used with a standard brown bag lunch sack that measures 10 5/8 x 5 1/8 x 3 1/8 inches.
Have fun creating this zebra storytelling puppet with your little-one(s).
Zebra Craft
Easy to assemble version. Just cut into two parts – the head and the body. Paste the face/head onto the bottom of the brown paper sack so that when you move the “mouth” of the sack it looks as though the puppet is talking. Feel feel free to embellish as desired. �
Zebra Craft
Zero Lace-UpPrint, laminate and cut out the picture. Use a hole punch to punch holes into circles near the edge of the picture. The card can be used to practice lacing with a shoestring or piece of yarn.
